Default Wheel and tire question

I have my rear end and rear wheels and tires taken care of. Looking to get the Team 3 AC III wheels to match for the front. Im using a set of the 5/8 narrowed tubular mustang 2 front upper and lower control arms with a set of the 11 inch brakes and rotors. What backspace and width should I use in the front as well as tire size. The team 3 guy I spoke to said 7" rim with 4.5 backspace, that sound right? I dont want the rim too far in and Id like to run a 8 in the front if possible. Also what tire size for the front.

I have these ACIII s for the rear 15x10 for my narrowed 8.8

I am running 4.5 back spacing both front and rear. The difference is that I have the tubular front and 9" narrowed rear. If you need, I can measure from the mounting face to the frame on both the front and rear and give you an idea if they are the same.

Ok, here's the measurements from mine.
I am running 15 X 7 and 4.5 backspace with 235/60/15 on front.
Also running 15 X 8 and 4.5 backspace with 295/50/15 on rears.

From frame to face on front is 12 7/8" and 7 3/8" on rear.

The rear is slightly tucked in on mine so it could come out a little. If you are running 10" on the rear, yours will most likely stick out a little.
I had a rub on my drivers side that I had to fix so you don't want to go farther in.
